Best Life-changing Timeless Lessons by Lord Krishna

Bhagavad Gita

1. The Essence of Dharma; Fall of Fear (Chapter 2, Verse 47)

“Your right is to perform your duties only, but never to its fruits. Let not the fruits of action be your motive, nor let your attachment be to inaction.”

2. The Impermanence of Life; Accept the change (Chapter 2, Verse 14)

“O son of Kunti (Arjuna), the contact of the senses with the worldly objects gives rise to fleeting perceptions of happiness and distress. They are non-permanent and come and go. Bear them patiently, O Arjuna.”

3. The Yoga of Devotion (Bhakti); Surrender to God (Chapter 9, Verse 22)

“To those who are constantly devoted and who worship Me with love, I give the understanding by which they can come to Me.”

4. Detachment and Duty; Selfless Action (Chapter 2, Verse 14):

“O son of Kunti, the nonpermanent appearance of happiness and distress, and their disappearance in due course, are like the appearance and disappearance of winter and summer seasons. They arise from sense perception, O scion of Bharata, and one must learn to tolerate them without being disturbed.”

5. The Science of Self-Realisation; Know and Accept Thyself (Chapter 6, Verse 5)

“A person is said to be established in self-realisation and is called a yogi when he is fully satisfied by virtue of acquired knowledge and realisation. Such a person is situated in transcendence and is self-controlled. He sees everything—whether it be pebbles, stones, or gold–-as the same.”

6. Universal Brotherhood; Equality and Oneness (Chapter 6, Verse 29)

“A true yogi perceives the self in all beings and all beings in the self. Such a person, who sees unity in diversity, is untouched by dualities and free from envy.”

7. Recognition of the Divine; Rise of The Universal Form (Chapter 6, Verse 32)

“He who sees Me everywhere and sees everything in Me, I am not lost to him, nor is he lost to Me.”
